Mournful

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gramon is a red wine variety , a new breed between the Grenache x Aramon varieties . The crossing took place in 1960 by the French ampelographer Paul Truel in the Domaine de Vassal, a branch of the Institut National de la Recherche en Agronomie of the University of Montpellier . The Monerac grape variety was created from the same cross. Gramon produces light red wines of average quality.

The clone 0539 is approved for commercial cultivation in France . Smaller experimental crops are known in Canada.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is hairy white wool and light green in color. The young leaves are hairy and copper-colored (anthocyanin spots).
  • The leaves are three-lobed and slightly curved (see also the article leaf shape ). The stem bay is open in a U-shape. The sheet is serrated to a point. The teeth are set medium-wide compared to other grape varieties.
  • The cylindrical grape is medium to large (approx. 320 grams per grape) and has loose berries. The round berries are medium-sized (2.3 grams on average) and black and blue in color.

The variety sprouts early and is therefore sensitive to late spring frosts. It ripens about 30 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen late. Gramon is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
